Need some new brake pads for my retro ride as the original pads decided to crumble on today’s ride. Don’t really know what to go for so was hoping for some advice from the STW massive. Looking on Wiggle there are some Ashima pads for 6.99 or on CRC some Ultegra ones for £8.99. Got aluminium rims if that makes any difference?

If you just want cheap then try superstarcomponents or disco brakes. Good enough for my commuter bike and winter bike. Racing bike is still on original pads but I think I’d spend the extra there and go for something better performing.
